A lawsuit alleges Perplexity AI shared user conversations and data with Meta and Google, even in incognito mode.Summary
A class action lawsuit accuses Perplexity AI of secretly sharing user conversations with Meta and Google through embedded trackers within its AI search engine. The suit claims that Perplexity “effectively planted a bug” on users’ computers, violating their privacy. Specifically, the lawsuit alleges that even users utilizing the “Incognito” mode – including paid subscribers – had their conversations, email addresses, and identifying information shared with the tech giants, allowing for personal identification. This practice raises concerns about the privacy promises made by Perplexity and the extent to which user data is being collected and shared without explicit consent.
